It's your right to think whatever you want Brad I agree that being able to fish Penns, Spring, or Fishing Creek has jaded my vision about fishing once you fish them I don't think you even think about stock trout but living in places with not having that I guess you have to fish stock trout.

P.S. Hook_Jaw: Fishing stocked trout is better than fishing supermarket trout anyday. So when I have a choice - I'll catch a few for my girlfriend. Most of the time it's a "catch and release thing". The ones that are really a challenge are the Palaminos.

You also have the right to think whatever you want, but it does not make your comment correct. You also have a misconception of where I fish & what type, either stocked or wild. I also have fished all of the above. Your jaded vision might be a little clearer if you got your nose out of....

My, my, my -- what I've been missing by being out fishing till I got injured. Anyhow:Troutbert hits it about right. Though I certainly prefer to fish for wild trout, if I lived in an area where that option was not readily available, I would enthusiastically fish for stocked trout. I think where you live will determine what type of trout you can fish for, and it really does not do anyone any good to hammer him or her for fishing for the type of trout that are available to him or her. Not everyone can afford to take big road trips with today's gas prices.

I noticed that your profile does not list the Steelers!! And they are a good team. Anyways....I'm here in Philly and there are no wild trout in my neck of the city - So my choice is between something on ice at the supermarket or something that put's up a little bit of a fight/gives me a bit of enjoyment and relieves stress. That is unless I want to drive for several hours.

"It's a shame that this fun topic turned into someone putting down other's enjoyment, sports teams, etc. for their own pleasure."
